Rampaging Rhino - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: Rhino smashes through a building, while carrying the Hulk, next to the bakery with the pink facade. In the next shot the building is fine and the bakery window is broken. Then when the Hulk smashes Rhino back through the same building, there's no damage at all and the building next to the bakery says Bank and has a green facade.

Once Upon a Time... Space picture

Show generally

Factual error: The forces of Cassiopeia all sport the crown-like "W" sign which is the shape of that constellation... but only as seen from earth! These five points in three-dimensional space (like all star signs named after anything) look like that when viewed from our own planet; but from anywhere else, they aren't shaped like that at all. Why would they chose to see themselves through a very specific angle of view from some other distant planet (earth)?

Beware the Creeper - S2-E10

Plot hole: During Ryder's report, as Bruce and company watch it on TV, the camera suddenly zooms in on Joker standing on a catwalk above Ryder, and none of the crew, especially not the camera man who caught the villain, makes a comment about this. They may have thought the Joker (or rather an impersonator) was perhaps a surprise gag in the show, but since this is supposed to be a serious documentary report, it is still strange that they wouldn't point it out.

Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E2

Other mistake: Kindaichi is afraid something might have happened to Miyuki. Finding blood, he has a flashback with several images about her. The final one though, the one with her sticking her tongue out and making a funny face, is something he can't reminisce about, since he wasn't there at the time. (00:18:40 - 00:21:00)

Nanatsu no Taizai - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth starts weeping, her bodysuit is torn above her left breast with a single tear. Post-credits Meliodas asks her to join him; now that torn spot is split in two - the first time the bit of fabric that separates the two spaces was already severed. (00:17:40 - 00:22:30)

Ryuusui, Chimaera no Otoko - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Crosswords has the first attack of Chimera witnessed by Black Jack, his wife Sayuri runs to the fridge to grab the bottles. In the shot with the camera inside the fridge, there is a full complement of bottles in the bottom shelf, but in the other angle the right half of the shelf is occupied by glasses only. (00:09:15)
